The circuit is high-speed and undulating, a literal roller coaster ride. The Mazda's engine sounds exactly like the V8 Formula 1 cars. The noise makes your hair stand on end, especially when you enter the tunnel.
You're ducking and diving to get past the leaders, it's a high-octane and ever-changing battle.
The AI are also given some airtime here, as the leader of the race blocks you from passing and uses the racing line to perfection. Don't expect an easy ride in single player mode, these aren't pushovers.
